My ~/.config/menus path contained following after this failure:

And my applications.menu file contained only the following:
pat...@esp-patben-lin:~/Backup/.config/menus$ cat applications.menu
!DOCTYPE Menu

After additional search I have copied /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu to
~/.config/menus. After that, all menu entries has appeared back... together
with (empty name) entry.
Alacarte has started properly, I have moved squirrel SQL shortcut again to
Programming entry.
Now I payed more attention, when (empty) was selected Delete button was
greyed out.
I have clicked squirrel shortcut in menu entry and deleted it - went fine.
I have clicked (empty) - delete button was still grey.
I tried to move (empty) to subsection of Accessories with hope i will be
able to delete it.
Then all menu entries has disappeared and after I closed it, terminal contained:
pat...@esp-patben-lin:/etc/xdg/menus$ alacarte
** (alacarte:3726): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from
/home/patben/.config/menus/applications.menu: Line 6 character 9:
Element Old is required to contain text and was empty
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_name'
Conclusion: previously I have accidentally moved (empty) menu entry to
another section, which has triggered disappearance of all menu entries. Should
this be reported as separate bug? I remind you, that this bug concerns crash of
alacarte, when there are no menu entries.
